Description / Abstract:

Communication between an ITS Management Center or portable
computer and a Transportation Sensor System (TSS) is accomplished
by using NTCIP Application Layer services to convey requests to
access or modify values of TSS data elements resident in the TSS
via an NTCIP network. An NTCIP message consists of a specific
Application Layer service and a set of data elements. An NTCIP
message may be conveyed using any NTCIP defined class of service
that has been specified to be compatible with the Simple
Transportation Management Framework (STMF).

The scope of NTCIP 1209 v02 is limited to the functionality
related to TSS within a transportation environment. NTCIP 1209 v02
defines data elements that are specific to TSS and also defines
standardized data element groups that can be used for conformance
statements. The limits and descriptions of the parameters are
established to give the user maximum flexibility to operate TSS
that either existed when NTCIP 1209 v02 was developed or may exist
in the future.
